This paper discusses a 1928 polemic in Cahiers d’Art on the work Max Ernst to explore the relation of surrealism to modernism. The early reception of surrealism in Cahiers d’Art reflected the frequent criticism of surrealist painting by modernist critics, who derided it for its lack of attention to formal values and fondness for literary associations. In 1928, however, a discussion of Max Ernst’s recent work exceeded the bounds of formalist modernist criticism to address surrealism’s dissensual political position, providing a rare snapshot of the relation between modernist art and politics. Although the modernist criteria promoted by Cahiers d’Art, based on the ‘plastic quality’ of exemplary works, appeared above the vicissitudes of politics, it was contingent on an implicit agreement with the postwar political consensus. In this context, the formal inadequacy of surrealist painting could assume a political force as a manifestation of dissensus.

The concept of shape is widely used by musicians in talking and thinking about performance, yet the mechanisms that afford links between music and shape are little understood. Work on the psychodynamics of everyday life by Daniel Stern and on embodiment by Mark Johnson suggests relationships between the multiple dynamics of musical sound and the dynamics of feeling and motion. Recent work on multisensory and precognitive sensory perception and on the role of bimodal neurons in the sensorimotor system helps to explain how shape, as a percept representing changing quantity in any sensory mode, may be invoked by dynamic processes at many stages of perception and cognition. These processes enable ‘shape’ to do flexible and useful work for musicians needing to describe the quality of musical phenomena that are fundamental to everyday musical practice and yet too complex to calculate during performance.

Abstract Aging and disability are normative processes that extend across the lifespan. However, ageism and ableism are incorporated into many of our practices, programs, and policies—devaluing the lives of older adults and people aging with disabilities and ultimately preventing their full participation in society. Ageism and ableism are closely connected. For example, both systems identify impairment as an individual and social liability. As recent studies have demonstrated, this has real world implications for the quantity and quality of health care requested, delivered, and received by both older adults and people with disabilities. In this session, we discuss the connections between these two forms of oppression and present recent work by researchers in both fields and the FrameWorks Institute that shows how to transform our cultural ideas of aging and disability and development more inclusive policies and services.

Analysis Quality

Understanding program behaviors is important to verify program properties or to optimize programs. Static analysis is a widely used technique to approximate program behaviors via abstract interpretation. To evaluate the quality of static analysis, researchers have used three metrics: performance, precision, and soundness. The static analysis quality depends on the analysis techniques used, but the best combination of such techniques may be different for different programs. To find the best combination of analysis techniques for specific programs, recent work has proposed parametric static analysis . It considers static analysis as black-box parameterized by analysis parameters , which are techniques that may be configured without analysis details. We formally define the parametric static analysis, and we survey analysis parameters and their parameter selection in the literature. We also discuss open challenges and future directions of the parametric static analysis.

In an m-commerce setting, the underlying communication system will have to provide a quality of service (QoS) in the presence of two competing factors—network bandwidth and, as the pressure to add value to the business-to-consumer (B2C) shopping experience by integrating multimedia applications grows, increasing data sizes. In this chapter, developments in the area of QoS-dependent multimedia perceptual quality are reviewed and are integrated with recent work focusing on QoS for e-commerce. Based on previously identified user perceptual tolerance to varying multimedia QoS, we show that enhancing the m-commerce B2C user experience with multimedia, far from being an idealised scenario, is in fact feasible if perceptual considerations are employed.

Lamb Meat

Ewe and ram genotype have been shown to have a significant effect on carcass quality. For example, Dawson and Carson (2001) demonstrated that lambs from Bluefaced Leicester X Blackface ewes were of poorer conformation than lambs from the Texel X Blackface, Suffolk X Cheviot or Texel Cheviot ewes while high lean growth index sired lambs had an improved conformation compared with lambs sired by non-recorded rams. Recent work has shown that genotype can have significant effects on the meat quality of lambs from hill sheep systems (Carson et al. 2001). Therefore the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of ewe and ram genotype from the lowland sector on meat quality.

Defining surgical quality is an imperative and substantial undertaking before its measurement and ultimate improvement. This article defines quality of care and a rationale for its measurement. In the context of radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, we describe a conceptual model for measuring quality of care. Finally, we provide a framework for future research by presenting an overview of recent work pertaining to cystectomy and quality of care.

Impaired Quality

This chapter suggests that, when considering the philosophical problem of other minds, we distinguish between "thick" and "thin" versions of it. While traditional approaches take the problem to be a thick one, more recent work can be seen as addressing only a thin variant. Dretske, while acknowledging the thick problem, proposes a perceptual model of our knowledge of other minds which addresses only the thin version. The chapter proposes that, in the place of the thick problem, we consider the quality of our interactions with others. Following Wittgenstein, it suggests that where individuals share a nature their interactions exhibit a quality that it calls "depth." Where that nature is not, or is only partially, shared, there one might expect to find the quality of the interaction between persons disturbed. The chapter suggests that this disturbance might explain the impaired quality of interaction between autistic and non-autistic individuals.

Grade Iii

The results of recent work at this station regarding the organoleptic grade of cod and haddock and the trimethylamine content of these fish were subjected to statistical treatment. It was established that there is a relation between grade and trimethylamine content which may be represented by a linear regression equation, if the trimethylamine content is expressed as log (1 + TMA value). The confidence with which this TMA index may be used to estimate grade was also determined. Based on these findings, a scale of TMA values for use in practical grading was set up; the suggested values are grade I: TMA value 0.00 to 1.00; grade II: TMA value 1.01 to 7.00 and grade III: TMA value 7.01 and higher. Finally, a method is suggested by means of which the ability of a grader to judge the quality of fish may be assessed.

Galvanic Skin Responses

We review our theory of robust intelligence (RI) for groups. We examine the quality of decisions by groups in the laboratory under either majority rule (MR) or consensus rule (CR). Theoretically, engagement in decision-making becomes a factor depending on whether an individual is in a group or in competition between groups. From earlier research, measures of engagement in three-person groups included self-reports, counts of utterances during discussions, and changes in electro-dermal activity (i.e., galvanic skin responses, or GSR). We predicted engagement (number of utterances) would be greater under CR than MR; under MR, we predicted that GSRs would be greater (more attention). Based on partial analyses, participants under CR spoke significantly more often during discussions than MR. As predicted, after de-trending GSR data, we found MR produced higher GSRs and shorter discussions. Our recent work in group size has increased to five participants working on Wason Selection Tasks.
